| The first person that figures out how to put full gauges back in the 94-96 Roadmasters gets a gold star. I'm boggled why the non-LT1's have full gauges including tachs and the LT1 cars got shafted.
Someone make a Camaro or Firebird cluster fit.....and post instructions! |

| GM saved money by putting the clusters we got stuck with in the Roady's. Grumbles.
One of the ISSF guys did a Z28 cluster in his RMW. There's a thread over there somewhere about it. To make it work he pretty much has to custom build a dash face to fit as well as lots of work behind the cluster.

Mike(GN1220) worked with Gary on making the very first cluster for roadmasters.
I don't remember if it was or wasn't included in the sale of my car,but it doesn't matter as I wanted it stock anyway.
I had the priveledge to seei it when he picked us up in the 94,and I want to tell you it is sweet.
Crovo has one as well.

Figure out how much work you save by going this route and you'll see why the price is a good deal. I'm not saying it isn't steep (it is!) but start digging into the project and you'll see why. |

| Custom dashes. This would qualify. How about a totally digital dash in a B-body, 93 Caprice wagon.  This is a Nordskog 6 unit digtal dash. Fairly straight forward installation. Had a bunch of pics at www.impalassforum.com last spring when it went in. It ran about $300.00 plus fiddly stuff like connectors. They are getting scarce to purchase these days as Nordskog bit the big one. edit 05/22/2011 Digital sah now sold by Intellitronix. can be found at: http://www.intellitronix.net/intellitronix_007.htm

| I am pretty sure that Dakota Digital offers a similiar unit to the one in Shammo,s .The last time I priced their
setup they wanted over $600 dollars.Why couldnt you fit the early analog gauges to the later wagons?Just a
thought!

Yeah, ive seen them on Ebay, they're really pricy. They look pretty much identical to the one in Shammo. |

| When I purchased the Nordskog unit, it was from Ebay, and I picked it up for $300.00 At the time Summit also had them, but for more. Nordskog may have gone under, as I see the website re-directs you to somewhere else. So if you find one, and want it ... GRAB IT!

| I have a 91 Caprice sedan. Want to install a 91 - 93 RM instrument cluster. A member on another forum said there is someone on this forum who makes the wiring harness. The name "Joe" was mentioned. Anyone know who he is?
Thanks |
